Join FUMA Director Fiona Salmon, 12:30pm Tuesday 18 June, for an introduction to the exhibition If you don’t fight … you lose: politics, posters and PAM.
Adelaide’s Progressive Art Movement (PAM), born out of Flinders University and spearheaded by radical thinkers Brian Medlin and Ann Newmarch, united artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, actors and musicians determined to cultivate a politically progressive culture rooted in local issues, while vehemently opposing US imperialism.
Five decades on, guest curators Catherine Speck and Jude Adams tell PAM’s little-remembered story. They bring together iconic posters and prints by celebrated artists Ann Newmarch, Mandy Martin, Robert Boynes and others, whose work spread messages of community action, resistance and solidarity.
If you don't fight … you lose: politics, posters and PAM celebrates the enduring power of political printmaking. We look forward to sharing the exhibition with you!
